Chapter 1059 Seize the love and restore the ugly
Midsummer time.
The city of Songzhou was full of excitement, and there was no panic about the Tubo army's attack. Perhaps it was Wei Guogong Qin Lang who was here, giving everyone confidence, or the strength of the Songzhou Ningyuan Army over the years, making everyone believe in their defensive capabilities. , or everyone didn't take Tubo very seriously.
Tubo, in the eyes of most businessmen, is just a small country in a very remote place, even Tuyuhun is far inferior, so whether it is 200,000 or 300,000, it must be just a bluff.
In this strange atmosphere, Luoyang has a purpose to come.
Qin Lang regained his love.
Originally due to the death of his father, Ding You resigned and came to Songzhou to attend the funeral and help the soul. Qin Lang was decreed by the emperor to recover from his love and to serve as the prime minister of Jiannan Road Xuanfu Jinglue envoy and inspector of Yizhou. Lang was fully responsible for leading the defense against the Tubo invasion, and gave him the right to control the troops of Helong.
Anyway, he is fully responsible for this battle.
Either they trusted Qin Lang, or they didn't look down on Tubo. The court was not too surprised when they heard that 200,000 people from Tubo came to Songzhou and invaded Qiang. It's just that Qin Lang in Songzhou regained his feelings and took full charge of the battle situation, and then he didn't send a single soldier from the Central Plains for reinforcements.
Only let Qin Lang control the five soldiers and horses in Jiannan, Yunnan, Qinghai, Longyou and Hexi, and they can be mobilized according to needs, that's all. The emperor who is far away in Chang'an thinks that the frontier troops in Helong and Jiannan are strong and strong, and there is no need to send troops from the Central Plains up.
Even the generals of the Beijing Normal University’s South and North Yamen were not transferred.
Of course, the Luoyang court had no objection to the emperor's instructions. The Prince Jian Guo issued an order according to the will, and asked Qin Lang to take full responsibility, saying that Tubo was arrogant and arrogant, and asked Qin Lang to teach him a lesson. .
The Luoyang court didn't pay much attention to Tubo, and so did the emperor in Chang'an. Now the Luoyang court is discussing the matter of taking action against Gaochang, and the prince has already presented the plan to deal with Gaochang to the emperor of Chang'an.
Li Shimin's reply is yes, the emperor also thinks that Gaochang has become a little arrogant in recent years, he dared to provoke the Tang Dynasty repeatedly, and supported the Luoyang court to use troops against Gaochang.
He also expressed his appreciation for the choice of delaying Xue Yantuo proposed in the prince's report, and felt that it was correct to go west first and then north.
As for the fact that Yugu should be cleaned up by the way when fighting Gaochang, the emperor has no objection. It is impossible to give Yugu the position of the Western Turkic Khan. Imagine what you want.
He escaped from the Eastern Turks and was placed in the Western Regions by the Tang Dynasty. What qualifications does he have to be the Great Khan of the Western Turks? The more ambitious the wish valley set is, the less likely the imperial court will agree.
After all, after a series of Western Turkic Khans such as Shekui Khan, Tongyehu Khan, Siyehu Khan, Mohedu Khan, and Nishu Khan, Datang hoped that the Western Turkic Khans would become more and more powerful. The weaker it is, the weaker the Western Turks are, which is in the interests of Datang.
Yu Gu set up a taboo, broke through the red line of Datang, and made the same mistake as Xue Yantuo, of course it has to be dealt with.
As for the order of first Gaochang, then Yugu, and then Xue Yantuo, it was completely in accordance with the strategic deployment needs of the imperial court. Xue Yantuo of Mobei let him play with Huihe for a while.
Gao Chang controls the throat of the Western Regions. Since he is disobedient, he must be extinguished as soon as possible, otherwise it will become a card stuck in the throat, which will be very uncomfortable.
As for Tubo?
Why are you here to join in the fun at this time?
Let Qin Lang clean up by the way.
Songzhou side.
Most civilians, soldiers and civilians are a little too contemptuous of Tubo, and they don't really realize that Tubo is actually very strong.
Qin Lang liked the optimistic atmosphere, it was better than panic.
Anyway, fighting a war is not difficult for him.
He Qin Lang has fought many battles in these years, especially he had fought in Songzhou and Diezhou before, defeated Dangxiang, destroyed Tuyuhun, and even challenged Tuyuhun.
He is very experienced in dealing with nomads. He has fought against Turks, Party members, and Tuyuhun people. He is also experienced in this kind of plateau terrain. He used to fight on the plateau for thousands of miles, and finally wiped out Tuyuhun in a battle at Hequ Yematai.
At that time, Tuyuhun had more troops than Tubo now, and he won the battle, and he won so beautifully.
The current situation is much better than before. At the beginning, when the battle was fought for thousands of miles, there was no logistics and supplies.
Now he is waiting for work with ease, sitting on a narrow victory, and dealing with Tubo who came thousands of miles away, how can he fight and win?
The imperial court's attitude towards this battle is actually not a problem, not to mention Qin Lang, a famous general like Qin Lang, who is known as the **** of war, even if Shi Hanwei, the governor of Songzhou, leads the defense, not to mention defeating Tubo With 200,000 people, at least it is no problem to defend without loss.
Duoqing came back to Qin Lang, also wanting to teach Tubo a lesson and win more beautifully.
You can definitely win against Tubo, the key is to what extent you win.
If Qin Lang just wanted to win, it was actually very simple. First defend the city, and then find an opportunity to go out of the city to fight back. There is no need for a big victory, as long as one or two small victories, and then he will win when the Tubo people return without success.
At that time, send troops to chase casually, chop off a few heads, and then you can brag about your achievements. This is the simplest.
Even if you want to be more conservative, you don’t have to go out of the city, just defend the city. Even if the Tubo people come here with cattle and sheep, it won’t take too long. They will have to go back to their hometown in a month or two, and of course he will be defending against the enemy. meritorious service.
Of course, this kind of victory was something Qin Lang could not look down upon.
And as optimistic as Han Wei or Qin Xun are too naive, he is not. He really thinks that the 200,000 people in Tubo are all mobs. Annihilated?
That's impossible.
Since people dare to come, they come prepared.
Not to mention 200,000, even 50,000 elite young and strong soldiers can cover mountains and valleys. Taking Songzhou's advanced terrain as an example, it is not really suitable for large-scale legion battles. Not too big, no big plains.
However, this will also place many restrictions on the battlefield. Although the enemy cannot deploy troops, it is not easy to counterattack, and it will easily become a war of attrition.
"Will the war here end in a short while, or Goro and you help the spirits to go back to Chang'an and go to Zhaoling for burial, so that father can be buried in peace?"
Qin Lang asked the brothers for their opinions.
The fifth child has no objection. He has abandoned martial arts and literature, and has a natural fear of war. Although the atmosphere in Songzhou is very good at the moment, he is willing to return to Chang'an.
The fourth brother and the sixth brother are the main force of the polo team in the Imperial College. They learn the text without paying attention to riding and shooting, but they are well-known in Qin Qiong's family. However, the two brothers are unwilling to return to Chang'an, preferring to stay, and even want to take the opportunity to join the army. In order to seek opportunities to make contributions.
The fourth son, Qin Li, Qin Huaidao, even said that he is now the magistrate of Jiaohe County in Songzhou. When the enemy invades, he is responsible for guarding the land as a vassal. How can he leave at this time?
"Although you have been enshrined in the world, you have not yet become crowned adults, so you don't have to worry about these things now. Besides, the officials, soldiers and horses in Songzhou Dudu's Mansion are all managed by the imperial court. As vassals, we only have the right to supervise That’s all, if you stay, it won’t be of much use.”
"Don't we have a guard in our family? We can lead the guards to fight against the enemy and show our Qin family prestige!"
Qin Lang patted Qin Li, "I know that you want to make contributions, but you are not in a hurry. You are still young, learn more skills, and you will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in the future. Listen to brother, you take your family members and Wulang to **** grandpa Return the coffin to Chang'an, and send some aunts and brothers and sisters back together."
"Let Goro go back, Liulang and I will stay with brother, even if we are a servant liaison officer, we don't want to miss this battle."
"Brother, let us stay."
Seeing the attitude of the two brothers, Qin Lang considered the meeting, and finally agreed to let the fourth Qin Li and the sixth Qin Gui stay, and the fifth Qin Xun took his younger brothers and sisters to **** Qin Qiong's coffin back to Zhaoling in Chang'an for burial , Several aunts also returned to Chang'an together.
Although they will not be in any danger in Songzhou in this battle in Songzhou, since Qin Qiong is gone, it is better for the younger brothers and sisters to return to the Central Plains first, whether in Chang'an or Luoyang. There are better opportunities over there, whether you enter the Imperial College, enter the Chongxian Hall or the Hongwen Hall, etc., study hard for a few years, then work as a few guards or something, and then get a real job as an official, one step at a time, the road can go further Far.
After all, they are bastards. Although they have also been favored and won the world title, this world title is actually only a guarantee of a golden job and a good financial income guarantee. A **** who has lost his father still has to work **** his own if he wants to have a better future of.
If they stay in Songzhou, it will be very difficult for these brothers to have a great future in this life. In fact, the competition among the children of the Xunqi family is very fierce, and the sons of concubines have to work harder.
Qin Qiong is gone, his elder brother is the head of the Qin family, he has to pave the way for the brothers, at least provide enough resources and help when they are young, as for how far they can go in the future, it is up to them It's his business, but now, it's his elder brother's business.
Qin Xun wants to give up martial arts, Qin Lang does not object, Qin Li Qin Gui wants to be a general, Qin Lang does not object, even in the future, even if the old and the old do not want to do anything, Qin Lang may not object, everyone has his own aspirations Well, but if they want to do something, his brother will still try to help.
Songzhou is a feudal land earned by Qin Qiong's lifelong meritorious service. Qin Qiong has guarded and managed it here for many years, with great difficulty. Now that he has just left and his brothers are still young, although Songzhou has nothing to do with Qin Lang, Qin Lang has to protect this fiefdom for his loyal father.
There is too much Qin Qiong's hard work here.
Every farm, every mine, every workshop, and every pasture of the Qin family here is hard-earned and cannot be lost.
When the brothers grow up in the future, he has to hand them over intact.
Qin Lang confessed to his brothers, and came to Qin Qiong's mourning hall alone.
The founding **** of war, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, who must be heard in Bangbang, passed away forever in the coffin of golden nanmu.
"Grandpa, let's go!"
Since the Xuanwumen mutiny, Qin Lang knew that Qin Qiong had been unhappy, and the spirit of this tiger general seemed to have gradually lost since that day.
Although it took another twelve years after that.
In any case, Qin Qiong ended well. Compared with those famous generals of the same era, Hu'er, Zhang Xutuo, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Du Fuwei, Shan Xiongxin, Luo Yi, Wang Junkuo, etc., Qin Qiong's ending is still very good of.
Born into Lingyan Pavilion, died as a gift to King Qi.
The Shinto stele made by the emperor marks a perfect end to Qin Qiong's life, leaving an image of a loyal and unparalleled hero.
And how many people expect this?
How many people in history can do this?
The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji and Zhang Liang were murdered for rebellion, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng also had no peace after their deaths, the Fang family was liquidated after his death, and Wei Zheng was put on the tombstone by the emperor All pushed down.
Li Xiaogong and Yuchi Jingde, the two generals, can only indulge in singing and dancing or practice alchemy for many years until they die.
The eldest grandson Wuji, the number one hero, was charged with treason and rebellion in the end. Not to mention his death, the eldest grandson's family was also implicated. The famous general Li Ji kept a low profile for half his life. dig it out of the ground...
Pick up a jug of wine and slowly pour it for Qin Qiong.
"Grandpa, the Hu Leibo you raised is really a loyal horse. Since you left, he has neither eaten nor drank. In the past, Hu Leibo, who was good at wine and meat, is now on a hunger strike for you. I know his intentions. It wanted to follow Grandpa, so I made it happen."
"I hired a special craftsman to make and preserve Hu Lei Biao, and then I will bury him with my grandfather. I also hired a skilled stonemason to carve a stone statue for Hu Lei Biao, which will stand in front of my grandfather's tomb in the future."
"When you meet again under the Nine Springs, you can continue to unite as one and live freely. Maybe you can recruit the old department again under the Nine Springs, kill Zongheng Wushuang in the underworld, and then grab a king of Yama!"
······
"Duke Wei, you have military concerns."
Minister Shi of the Governor's Mansion and Han Wei, Ning Yuan's military envoy, came to report.
Qin Lang put all the wine in the pot in the mourning hall, and smiled at Qin Qiong's spirit tablet, "Grandfather, I'll go first, and I will let Wulang take you back to Chang'an tomorrow, the emperor has left you a large piece of land in Zhaoling , you go first. I will also build a clothes tomb for Uncle Luo at Beimanshan Mountain, so that Grandpa can also go to Beimanshan Mountain to find Luo Shu and the others to drink and chat together. The ancestral grave of his hometown in Licheng, Qizhou I have a place for you..."
"I'm going first. Tubo is coming. When you were here, you kept reminding the court to beware of Tubo, but no one cared. Now they are really coming. But grandpa, don't worry. Although Tubo is quite strong, I won't give it to you." They have a chance."
"This provocation, I will make them come back with a **** head!"
